I attended the same school from Grades 4 to 12 and my graduating class was roughly 30 people, so going to a school with thousands of other students seemed daunting. One friend gave me a tour of the campus before I <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lied, which helped ease my nerves, and other friends helped with course recommendations. Regina\u2019s lower rent prices and cost of living were also factors in my decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe some of your best experiences so far.<\/strong><br \/>Most of my favourite experiences happened either in the office of the Carillon, Regina\u2019s student <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper, or through my involvement with the Psychology Students Association (PSA).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you involved in extracurricular activities?<\/strong><br \/>I have gotten involved a fair bit, primarily through the PSA. I coordinate P2P, the PSA\u2019s undergraduate peer mentorship program. I have been able to help increase the flow of information among psychology students so that fewer of them wind up feeling lost or having to learn things the hard way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of your professors?<\/strong><br \/>My experiences with psychology professors at the U of R have been quite positive. The majority make an effort to select open-source materials for their course readings. Most of the professors I\u2019ve had have been excited about what they\u2019re teaching. The few exceptions tend to be people who make incredible researchers but struggle to structure lectures or can only explain concepts in one particular way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the school\u2019s administration?<\/strong><br \/>I\u2019ve found signing up for classes to be fairly easy, though sometimes it is difficult to find the prerequisites for courses in the online registration system. In <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, mandatory courses for degrees are offered frequently enough. If you have any issues, administrative staff can be very helpful. Trying to sign up for scholarships through the Student Awards Management System is messy at best, so leave yourself extra time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is off-campus life like in Regina?<\/strong><br \/>On the surface we may seem like a glorified prairie town, but Regina has an arts scene that is bursting at the seams. There are great venues where you can catch visual, performing and musical artists. There are dozens of local restaurants, pubs and caf\u00e9s, and there is a surprising number of walking and hiking trails in and around the city.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PROFILE<\/strong>: <strong>University of Regina | Regina, Sask. | Founded 1974<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>If I wrote the school motto:<\/strong> \u2018Troublemakers of the prairies\u2019<br \/><strong>Best place to live:<\/strong> Cathedral area for sure.
